Overcome Pressing Educational Challenges

Today, leaders in K-12 education must navigate a terrain that includes federal grant requirements, collective bargaining agreements, public relations, statutory shifts, tight budgets, fierce political fights, changing academic standards, and an urgent focus on helping all children succeed. Effective leaders and managers must find new ways to address the challenges and embrace opportunities in the K-12 educational environment.

A Focus on Leadership and Management in Education

The McCourt School’s Certificate in Educational Leadership and Management (ELM) builds the skills and knowledge that local and state leaders need to address large-scale challenges and bring bold and positive change in technology, human resources, school turnaround efforts, innovation zones, teacher quality reforms, and accountability initiatives. Other education leadership programs focus on innovation in pedagogy. In contrast, the ELM emphasizes the management and leadership skills needed to implement and sustain reforms.

The ELM is designed for district and state managers and leaders involved with budgeting, managing human resources, negotiating contracts, writing rules, applying for and adhering to federal grants, or designing and implementing reform initiatives.

Innovative Curriculum Addressing Bold Change

The ELM curriculum is designed to help local and state education officials support and lead improvement efforts. Instruction focuses on finding smarter, more powerful ways to leverage tools, talent, time, and money, within the constraints presented by norms, rules, regulations, contracts, and statutes.
